Neurons that track which direction an animal faces can hold their firing patterns steady for months, even as other brain cells tied to spatial memory shift and rearrange. That finding, drawn from long ...

A machine-learning analysis of brain waves recorded during sleep may help identify people at high risk of developing dementia, according to a study led by UC San Francisco and Beth Israel Deaconess ...

Breakthrough ideas often appear when you least expect them—but studies show there’s more than one way to trigger a “eureka” moment.

Scientists have developed a new machine learning method that reveals surprisingly consistent intrinsic brain patterns across different subjects by disentangling these patterns from the effect of ...

New research shows stress impairs direction sense, weakening the brain’s navigation system and making it harder to stay ...

Scientists have identified a distinct brain connectivity pattern in 6-week-old infants who are more likely to develop autism. The discovery offers exciting insights into the neurological development ...

A framework used by some high performers to work through emotional loops over time. Struggling to “do the work” and still feel stuck? You’re not alone. Brain Pattern Mapping, developed by educator and ...

An influential hypothesis in neuroscience is that the brain may operate near criticality, a transition zone between ...

Rather than a single hyperactive area causing emotional instability, recent research points to network-wide communication. Scientists found that neuroticism involves tight connections between the ...

Have you ever met someone for the first time and felt as though they would be your best friend? This may be attributed to something deeper than just common interests; it may have to do with a ...
